This is the AMY VarioFlex LED Round Downlight 12/14/17W 1950lm 3000K/3500K/4000K IP44 230mm Diam Thorn 96638170, available at SparksDirect.co.uk for the best price. The Thorn AMY VARIOFLEX (96638170) is a versatile recessed LED downlight designed to provide an efficient, modern replacement for traditional 2 × 26W compact fluorescent downlights. It delivers up to 1,950 lumens from just 17W, with a reported efficacy of 115 lm/W, helping to reduce energy consumption while providing bright, evenly distributed illumination.
One of the key benefits of the AMY VARIOFLEX is its flexibility. The colour temperature can be selected on site between 3000K, 3500K and 4000K, while the lumen output can also be adjusted between three settings. This makes the same fitting suitable for a variety of applications without having to specify different luminaires for different lighting requirements.

Frequently asked questions
1. Can I change the colour temperature?
Yes. The AMY VARIOFLEX allows the installer to select 3000K, 3500K or 4000K using the integrated colour-temperature switch. This allows the fitting to be configured on site according to the requirements of the room or project.
2. Can I change the light output?
Yes. The FLEX function provides three selectable lumen packages at 4000K: 1,400lm, 1,600lm and 1,950lm, corresponding to 12W, 14W and 17W respectively.
3. Can it be used as an emergency light?
Yes, with the appropriate accessory. Thorn specifies compatibility with its Just Emergency E3 Plug & Play Kit, which can provide three-hour emergency operation. The emergency kit is an additional accessory and is not simply an integral emergency function of the standard fitting.
Who can install this?
This is a mains electrical light fitting and should only be installed by a suitably qualified electrician in the UK.
Installation should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable UK electrical and building regulations. The electrician should also check the ceiling construction, cut-out dimensions, insulation requirements and suitability of the installation location before fitting.
Who needs this light fitting and where can it be installed?
The Thorn AMY VARIOFLEX 190 is particularly useful for commercial and professional lighting projects, refurbishment work and situations where existing compact fluorescent downlights need replacing with efficient LED technology. Its relatively high 1,950-lumen output makes it suitable for spaces requiring good general illumination rather than purely decorative lighting. Thorn identifies applications across areas such as circulation spaces, reception areas, schools/universities and offices or meeting rooms.
It can be recessed into suitable ceilings with a 190–215mm cut-out, including a range of ceiling constructions. The IP44 room-side rating provides additional protection where appropriate, although the precise suitability for bathrooms or other wet areas must always be assessed against the relevant installation zone and regulations rather than relying on the IP rating alone.
What else do you need with this?
Unlike a conventional GU10 or E27 fitting, the AMY VARIOFLEX has an integrated LED light source, so you do not need to purchase a separate LED bulb.
Depending on the installation, you may need additional accessories or associated products, including:
- Thorn Just Emergency E3 Plug & Play Kit if emergency operation is required.
- The appropriate wiring and electrical installation accessories.
- Replacement or additional Thorn AMY fittings for larger projects.
- Other matching recessed LED downlights where a complete lighting scheme is required.
- For projects replacing existing fluorescent fittings, it is worth checking the existing cut-out and ceiling arrangement before ordering.
